Good reasons
for commercial solar power
Reduce energy costs, make use of your own premises and gradually make the company’s energy supply more flexible
Photovoltaics are cost-effective
For businesses, photovoltaics is far more than just a way of generating their own electricity. Large roof areas and open spaces, a continuous demand for electricity and new electrical appliances create ideal conditions for utilising solar energy directly on their own premises.
It is not simply a matter of generating as many kilowatt-hours as possible. What matters is how well generation, consumption, storage and other applications work together.
From reducing grid consumption through to battery storage, charging infrastructure and smart energy trading, this opens up a range of opportunities to further develop a company’s energy supply in a cost-effective manner.

An overview of the good reasons
Reducing energy costs
Generating your own solar power can replace some of the electricity drawn from the public grid. Businesses with high electricity consumption during the day can benefit from this in particular.
→ Reduce
energy costs with photovoltaics
Making economical use of space
Production halls, warehouses, workshops and other commercial buildings often have large roof areas. With photovoltaics, suitable areas become a productive part of the energy supply.
→ Utilising
commercial spaces with photovoltaic systems
Using solar power directly
Many businesses require a particularly high amount of energy at precisely the times when the photovoltaic system is generating electricity. Machinery, cooling, ventilation, IT and lighting can be powered directly by the business’s own solar energy.
→ Using
solar power in the workplace
Reducing peak loads
Short-term spikes in power demand can significantly affect a business’s load profile. Battery storage systems can provide additional power and specifically limit grid draw-off during such peaks.
→ Reducing
peak loads with peak shaving
Storing solar power flexibly
Not all the solar power generated is needed immediately. Battery storage systems absorb surplus energy and make it available again later for operational use.
→ Storing solar power and using
it flexibly
Marketing solar power intelligently
Energy you do not need yourself does not have to go to waste. Depending on the system and the circumstances, self-consumption, storage, feeding into the grid and direct sales can be combined.
→ Smart marketing
of solar power
Modernising energy systems
A new energy solution does not always have to start from scratch. Existing photovoltaic systems and other energy generators can be supplemented with storage, charging infrastructure and smart control systems.
A system rather than individual solutions
The more applications are added, the more important the interaction between the individual components becomes.
Photovoltaics generate energy. Battery storage shifts it over time. Energy metering provides transparency. Charging infrastructure makes solar power usable for mobility. Intelligent control coordinates the energy flows.
In this way, individual components come together to form an operational energy system tailored to the specific requirements of each business.
KOSTAL offers power and charging electronics solutions for this purpose, enabling the integration of photovoltaics, battery storage, energy metering and charging infrastructure into flexible energy concepts.
Of interest to many companies
Requirements vary depending on the sector and location.
In manufacturing facilities, the focus is on machinery and load profiles. Logistics companies combine large roof areas with warehouse technology and charging infrastructure. Car dealerships can combine photovoltaics with increasing charging demand. On farms, photovoltaics, existing energy generation and flexible consumers all come together.
That is why a commercial photovoltaic system should always be designed to suit the specific business.

Shaping your own energy
Photovoltaics are increasingly transforming businesses from mere energy consumers into energy producers.
Those who utilise their own land and integrate generation, consumption, storage and new applications lay the foundations for a more flexible operational energy supply.
Generate your own energy. Use it straight away. Store it flexibly. Use it intelligently.
